letter to President Cleveland, asking

integrity and standing in community,
all OF which implied that he expected to
sign the bill, and all of which is very
distasteful to the political hucksterers

The first case in Ohio to test the Local
Option attachment to the Dow Law,
was heard before Judge Pike, in Toledo,
on the 2ith ult. The saloonkeepers of
Waterville asked the Court to enjoin the
trustees Of the town from enforcing that
clause of the law. The court declared
tbe law unconstitutional and issued the
injunction. OF course the case goes up
on appeal, and as the majority of the
Supreme Court is on record with the
claim that the Dow law is constitutional
they cannot well go back on the Local
Option feature as that has been declared
constitutional by unanimous opinion
oil the Supreme Court, years ago, and at
a time apparently when more attention
was paid to judicial knowledge than is
now paid to the selection OF judges for
partisan purposes and the manufacture
ing ofbusiness for the courts.

Earthquakes have been of daily occurrence,

sources are exhausted, and the entire vicinity
is destitute of food and clothing, and unless
